Here, there and back, and now... There!

I read this all the time, and I shall not want

though I find myself lying in green pastures

being subject by what could be,

and the dreams and visions you have for me

These last months, I have been planning a move, a move to Kansas City. Although, I never said it as that, I will be there at lease two months, so yes, we'll call it a move. A lot has happend since I updated. I finished my EARS (Environmental Resource Stewardship School). Not long after, I hopped on a boat with a few rough necks and lived out in Alaska for a month fishing for prawns, working my tale off. Now I have my school paid off, and Im pretty close to broke again. As for Kansas City, well thats easy. My girlfriend is there. Lately, God has been speaking to me about being hasty in all things and how it will lead to sure poverty. Our lives are not meant to be lived at 110 MPH, we need to spend time on things. That includes, friends, family, work, money, ministry, life, God! He knows us well. As he is telling me to "go, to KC." and I'm thinking, what about my ministry? and he is saying "There is ministry there, go."

With not a second to spare to sit and ponder

One month on a boat and with what to show?

I pray that the seeds that I bought

will make it to the garden to sow

God has given me tools, and I know he will have me use them wherever I am at. If it is worship, growing an awesome garden, encouraging or discipling others. Whatever it may be, I trust he will let me know, if it is a new tool I must gain I trust he will provide the means to obtain it. 

How long has it been since I had laid my head

on the soft green grass, seeking your thought

as a soft breeze past with secrets to grasp,

of a soft answer that turns away wrath?

My prayer for as I leave and when I get there, is that I grow and even closer relationship with God than I ever have had before, and not fall deaf or blind to his calling on me. I pray for my relationship with her to be blessed and that we may grow together. I pray for mornings spent in mediation and just listening to his voice. I pray for new friends, new stories and amazing soil.

One thing I learned, as I lived on that boat

Is let the compass guide to keep you on course

This compass points to Kansas City and thats a big thing. Just like all big things, big things require a lot of good faith and for myself, I could use some more of that.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 ⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. -Philippians 4:4-8
